Two SW versions installed

Two SW versions installed

Two SW versions installed

(OP)
I used to be able to install a new version on my PC for testing, while still working with the previous version.
I'm trying to install 2015 onto my PC for testing, but it wants to update my 2014 every time (2014 is admin image installed from a server).
My VAR has been no help.
Any ideas how I can install 2015 without it affecting my 2014 install? I see no option on the DVD.
Thanks.

After several tries, the option finally popped up on the DVD to install it separately from 2014.
PITA!

Yeah its not supposed to be that hard... glad you got through it. While in Beta testing 2015 totally hosed my EPDM Edrawings version, even though I didn't install edrawings from the 2015 beta install. It was nasty on the repair I had to go through to fix it.

Kind Regards,
